180. More Precious to Me

1 When Jesus first came to my heart to abide,
My sorrows like clouds rolled away;
But since He so lovingly walks by my side
More precious is He ev’ry day!

Chorus:
More precious each day, hallelujah!
Each day He’s more precious to me;
This song would I sing of my Savior and King,
“Each day He’s more precious to me!”

2 He comforts my heart if in sorrow I pine,
My tears He in love wipes away;
My wonderful Savior! I know He is mine,
More precious to me ev’ry day! [Chorus]

3 If life here on earth with my Lord is so sweet,
What raptures in heaven there’ll be!
For there will I sing with a joy so complete,
“More precious is Jesus to me!” [Chorus]
